A part of the 30-45containers the "MSC Eloane" lost 40 miles of the Galician coast, continued to drift on the beaches of the Costa da Morte. On Jan 14 a group of volunteers were cleaning the beach in O Rostro (Fisterra), after wood chip packages and tobacco had gone ashore at the Muxiana beach of Nemiña. Meanwhile, the "SAR Gavia" and the patrol boat "Salvamar Altair" were involved in the recovery work in the afternoon of Jan 14 in the estuary of Corme and Laxe. Two large metal plates, part of the containers, were removed with the crane of the "SAR Gavia" and taken to the Cormelan pier in Gavia.
